This is usually the side effect of people running too fast. Slow it down- even if you feel like speed walkers can pass you.

Or you actually hate running.

I usually append 'reddit' to my google searches. It doesn't necessary provide better results but I love the plain text format.

This sounds pretty cool. Hope you share it when it’s finished!

Anytime you do business with China your essentially doing business with the CCP.

We would all like China to be a positive part of the global community but the fact of the matter is you can't ignore their overall policy. A possible genocide against the ethnic Uighurs, aggressive expansion in the South China Sea, normalization of censorship and suppression, treatment of Hong Kong & Taiwan: all of which are a complete contrast of Western values.

Could China force Tesla to sell Chinese operations? Absolutely. I don't think any one would be surprised. Companies that enter the Chinese market (if they can in the first place) are subjected to getting a smaller piece of the pie from the start.

Facebook has relentlessly tried to tap the Chinese market but are blocked by the CCP. So why does TikTok get a free pass to the American market? Why does __any__ Chinese company get a pass?

I think we need to continuously evaluate our relationship with China.

A rather hyperbolic comment. We don't do business with Iran- simple as that.

Not trying to be insensitive but it is a peculiar death and a first.

I don't like this because they may unknowingly introduce a biased form of triage.

I disagree with this. While it may be sometimes true, it is certainly a good thing that there are checks and balances to treatment. Otherwise providers of care are able to get a blank check. That is part of the problem now- say a physical therapist prescribes 5 sessions a week @ $300 per session but in reality the patient only needs 2 sessions a week. Insurance companies provide a checks/balance system with the ability for care providers to fight back when insurance companies deny care.

Assuming your distrust is true then the article's point of attacking profits is futile.

Good, right? This allows the consumer to make the decision without distracting GitLab from product building.

I've been able to unlock my iPhone 11 in nearly complete darkness.
